We’ll kick off our journey with a visit to a pottery workshop in Yeroskipou village to witness the long-standing tradition of pottery making. We’ll also get to explore the unique 5-domed St Paraskevi church which was constructed in the 9th century on the very location where the ancient temple of Aphrodite used to be. On top of that, we’ll observe the making of ‘loukoumia’ (Turkish delight). Our journey will then take us to Letymbou and Sophia’s traditional house that maintains its original furniture and traditional costumes. We’ll witness the process of village bread preparation in a clay oven and the making of other local delicacies like the traditional halloumi cheese. A brunch prepared by Sophia is included in the visit. Our next stop will be the Saint Neophytos monastery and the “Enkleistra”, a mountain-carved enclosure from the 12th century by hermit Neophytos, known for its exquisite Byzantine frescoes. The monastery’s main church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was erected about 200 years post the demise of St Neophytos.
